The Diary of Schiele: The life he could only paint
A diary Schiele never kept: the mirror he broke, the woman he lost, the family he painted before it existed.
"This essay is a collaboration between me and my friend Vittorio Zappa, author of It’s Art. We delved into the mind of the artist Egon Schiele, an Austrian painter from the early 20th century. Tormented but brilliant. Body dysmorphia, impossible desires for intimacy and the urge to be ordinary were the most central themes in his life and thus in this work. We hope you get to meet the painter behind the works. If you like it restack and subscribe. "
